That holster looks like his six year old made it for a school art project.
ETA - not knocking the guy just to do it, I simply feel like a better carriage option would be of value.

I made a nicer holster for my M1911A1 in the Craft Shop @ Camp Humphreys, ROK back in 1975.
Scott Miller is a former Delta commander and a general officer – they can carry whatever pistol they want as part of their uniform. General Officers are issued an M9 (with the option to buy). He was given a Glock 22 when he left the unit (through the association).
That said, he prefers a 1911, as did Generals Schoomaker and Bargewell.
ADM McRaven also carried a 1911.
Not wanting to renew the perpetual .45 vs. everything else feud but !!!
.45 centered tends to put em down, just takes one, as a rule.
At least he’s carrying Condition 1!
Yeah, he can carry whatever he wants IMO. Looks like more than a M1911, with beavertail and magwell.
Its does my heart good to see that. In spite of some critical comments I think that it is awesome that we have a Commanding General that knows how to use what he is carrying.
Well, if the guy is former CAG, I would be pretty disappointed if that weren’t the case.
Here’s one built by a CAG name LAV.
On the internet and in gun shops, yes.
In the real world, no.
Well, my brother was an Oakland cop. When he finished the academy I gave him a SIG P220 in .45.
When he was a rookie, he and his Field Training Officer responded to a domestic and he was attacked with a knife. One 230-grain Hydra-Shock center-chest on the target ended the fight.
Saw this image shared on a Facebook page. I criticized his holster here because I have used some less-stellar ones and because of that, I now appreciate certain features in a holster. However, some of the comments on that post are just plain stupid. Like someone complaining that he can carry whatever he wants but a “Joe” can’t…
Sam,
If you ever happen to be back up this way just make a pit stop and drop that off at my house! Beautiful 1911!
LOL. I’ll think about it … Thank you. I’ll let you see it if I’m in the area or if you’re down my way.
Completely anecdotal. The ineffectiveness and inconsistency of essentially all handgun rounds is well documented. Shot placement and ammunition selection are the critical, deciding factors. It sounds like your brother nailed the shot placement part.
You have a better than 70% chance of surviving being shot with a handgun regardless of caliber. The reverse is true for rifle or shotgun.

I’ve not been impressed by most non-CNS pistol wounds I’ve seen, generally. Regardless of caliber. They have a tendency to live at least into surgery, and many have ok outcomes.
The Burner grips and S&A magwell lead me to believe he’s mighty nostalgic.
